We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

The backcourt needs to help Cuz and Gay on offense. Collison is sorely missed and him coming back will be big, but Afflalo has to give more. And Lawson has to make teams pay for leaving him wide open.

What is wrong with Casspi?

Had a halloween party to attend last night and missed the game. I'll be watching the today. Sounds like for everyone's post it was a comeback win.

A lot of guys worthy of minutes, but he's also too eager and excited, which leads to rushing himself and making bad decisions in my opinion. I think he'll settle down eventually, and we'll see more minutes from him. I hope so anyway, since his outside shooting is sorely needed.

Barnes is looking like a great addition. Does a bit of everything and provides vet leadership and toughness. Looked like a point forward with some of those passes.

Cousins had a nice game but he needs to accept that he'll get fouled a lot and some won't get called. High FT rate and getting teams in foul trouble could be big part of this team exceeding expectations. And storming off into the stands and throwing his mouthpiece was very childish.

The Timberwolves have a lot of talent. I couldn't believe how good Dieng was playing but in the end they lack experience and couldn't close it out. I loved those passes by Matt Barnes. And I'm starting to like Mclemore.

The question is what happens to Ben when Collison comes back? Ben essentially is making the most of the off the bench role Collison had last year where finally Ben is getting some consistent looks offensively. When Lawson goes back to the bench, assuming he does, will those looks still be there?

This is nothing new really. Our offense always revolved around these two and we've been praying for help to come from somewhere else for ever. However, its what the backcourt and other role players have been providing recently that is making these games the difference between a W and an L. It's the intangibles that the role players are now providing is what is helping this team roll.

I wouldn't be mad if Lawson stayed the starter. He seems to be a better team defender than Collison (based on small sample size of 3 games) and Collisons offense would be useful off the bench.

Just watched the game. I don't think anyone is still complaining about Vlade recinding Seth Curry to sign Barnes.

I am worried about Barnes ribs injury. I hope he isn't doing more damage by playing.


Ben McLemore is really starting to find his game. His offense off the bench will be needed moving forward.


Casspi didn't do himself any favors in the minutes he played.

Main thing through these three games is the team seems to be fully buying into Coach Joerger. Our rotations seem to be more crisp than years past, offense more fluid. Players seem to know their roles and are buying in. Very early in the season but all signs point to positives so far. Gritty team, who competes. Loved when Joerger benched all five starters yesterday. This is the type of basketball we need to play if he want to make some noise for that 8th seed.

In addition to seeing the team buying into Joerger's coaching, is the fact that Joerger isn't afraid to correct you if you're not. You either buy in or you're not in. Benching the whole starting unit for forgetting the identity that they agreed to buy into was boss. I think players respect that.

His lack of shooting ability is hurting right now though and we've seen what Collison can do defensively. I can't wait to see him with Joerger as coach. Hopefully he gets back to the defense he played under Malone.

Hopefully that outburst was mostly tied to the pressure of getting that first win at the new building.

Good.

Was worried he'd get a 1 game suspension.
